I have recently discovered Moonflower Digistamps created by the artist Andreia Silva. Here I have used one of her Oriental images 'Sakura Maiden' and I have coloured her with pencils which is a change from my usual Promarkers. The gold paper she is mounted on is from my stash and the backing paper is from the DCWV Mariposa stack. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, the stamp had flowers drawn at the bottom but I removed them and replaced them with these Mulberry paper ones. The butterfly and tag are also from my stash.

I now have a new computer with the photo manipulation program I like loaded on it and my camera has a new battery and is now working so I have no excuse for not keeping up my blog from now on. I just hope that there are people out there in blog land that will like my work because that is what makes this all worthwhile.

Hi, my name is Elaina and I live in Kings Lynn, Norfolk with my Husband, Daughter and a selection of pets.

I have been crafting since I was a child when I learnt to knit and do cross stitch. I started making cards about 20 years ago when I discovered stamping and embossing. I have tried all sorts of other crafting techniques and currently I am doing a lot of Mixed Media work.

I was privileged to spend three years studying traditional needlework techniques at the Royal School of Needlework based in Hampton Court Palace. Amongst other techniques I learnt Silk shading, Goldwork, Whitework and Blackwork.
